Lyrics
Damn you
It's so cold in this madhouse
but in the warm grey ashes they found
a heart - it was ripped out
and chased like a cat and mouse
until it grew old - ain't life a gas
and it was dark there under the stairs
catching time in my hands as it pass
I was lost with a vegeance
Another heart smashed like broken glass
Damn you, why didn't I fight you
I use to love you - always so well
Now I just curse you- why didn't you come for me
Why didn't you rescue my heart from hell
Damn you, Damn you, Damn you, Love you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Now I sit here on the porch
and watch my hair turn grey even more
and I cry cause it's your fault, your fault
still holding a burning torch
another day old - in this nut house
it's becoming perfectly clear
your no savior after all dear
and I'm torn up all inside me
I'm shaking on the floor
Chorus
Damn you, oh, damn you, oh, damn you, oh, damn you, oh, damn you, love you oh
It's so cold in this madhouse
and at the end of dark corridor
a heart - it was ripped out
yet still beating on the floor
Chorus
